De Havilland swallow/D.H 108

[woeful nest]

The de Havilland DH 108 "Swallow" was a British experimental aircraft designed by John Carver Meadows Frost in October 1945. The DH 108 featured a tailless, swept wing with a single vertical stabilizer, similar to the layout of the wartime German Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet. Initially designed to evaluate swept wing handling characteristics at low and high subsonic speeds for the proposed early tailless design of the Comet airliner, three examples of the DH 108 were built to Air Ministry specifications E.18/45. With the adoption of a conventional tail for the Comet, the aircraft were used instead to investigate swept wing handling up to supersonic speeds. All three prototypes were lost in fatal crashes.

Anyways the stats

Maximum speed: 677 mph (1,090 km/h)
Range: 730 mi (1,170 km)
Service ceiling: 35,425 ft

Speaking of Komet
I'm surprised to know that Me 163 is planned

It doesn't even have a landing gear

[tulip flicker]

The Me 163 does in fact have landing gear

[woeful nest]

That's a sled

[tulip flicker]

Meaning:

It is something the Me 163 uses to land

And therefore

Landing gear

Also the plane looks like Mikoyan-Gurevich building a Me 163

I think the soviets had captured a few of them

[tulip flicker]

Ye

Didn't the soviets design the rocket engine but didn't get it to work so they left it for the Germans to find so they'd kill some test pilots

But the German scientists were on so much Pervitin it somehow worked

||Except for the one time they melted a test pilot||

Well that's the power of Panzerschokolade for ya

-# oh wait Panzerschokolade is actually chocolate mixed with meth

-# I though it was just a nickname for pervitin

Was literally just talking abt this like a few days ago
